Taxonomical Index 92 5. Journal 103 4 Brussels, 10.X.1991 Dear colleague, Thanks to the collaboration of 75 entomologists, this first directory of the specialists of Staphylinoidea of the world is being issued. It contains approximately 1400 bibliographie references, the names and the professional addresses of the members, their téléphoné and/or fax number, and their field of research, with three indexes (analytical, biogeographical and taxonomie) and an "advertisement" section. With your help, I have been able to build up a list of 250 addresses of professional or amateur specialists. A good number of them have still not answered. However, the greater the number of members, the greater will be the interest of the journal, and the richer and more complete the information. Therefore, it is désirable that each member contacts those biologists not yet mentioned in the year-book who might be interested in our project. This year-book is yours and suggestions will be welcome. To accelerate the redaction of the next number, to avoid as many typographical errors as possible and to facilitate my work, I would greatly appreciate that texts are sent on floppy disks (3,5" or 5,25" in ASCII file or in WP file [version 4.2, 5.0 or 5.1]). For those persons who do not have the use of a personal computer, a typewritten text (10 or 12 characters by inch) is acceptable too, since this text can be scanned. Any announcement of scientific meetings, proceedings of these, book reviews, job services or reprint demands will be included in the next numbers. Receiving your reprints would facilitate my work in establishing several indexes. Many workers in institutions with limited budgetary resources could face difficulties to complete their bibliographical researchs. A volume comprising the whole of references concerning Staphylinoidea would be a great help for them, and indeed for everyone. This work could be presented on paper and/or floppy disk. Most papers on Pselaphidae of the world and on Western- Europe Staphylinidae are already in my list. If you are interested in this volume and if you want to help me, I would like to receive the list of papers of deceased specialists that have worked in your museum or institute. Finally, concerning the second issue, I would ask you to send your references before 1.IX.1992. Thanking you in advance. I am at your disposai for additional information.

  • Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle
    Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle Order: Coleoptera Family: Byturidae Species: Byturus unicolor The raspberry beetle, also known as the raspberry fruitworm, is a product contaminant pest found in raspberry fields in Washington. The larvae, or fruitworm, may fall off with the fruit during machine harvest. This pest has often been controlled by a diazinon treatment at 5% bloom, before pollinators are brought into the field. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to reduce the use of organophosphates, such as diazinon, through higher restrictions and cancellations. New monitoring tools for the raspberry beetle have been developed and tested in Whatcom County. The Rebell® Bianco white sticky trap can be used to detect raspberry beetle levels in a field. This may help in determining what treatment, if any, is Figure 1: Adult raspberry required for control of the pest. beetle on a raspberry bud Biology: The adult raspberry beetle is between 0.15 and 0.2” in length, a reddish brown color with short hairs covering its whole body (see figure 1). Overwintering in the soil, the adult emerges in the spring between mid-April and mid-May depending on soil temperatures. The adults feed on leaves, often on the new primocane leaves, but in areas of high populations they will also feed on upper floricane leaves. Adults are then attracted to flower buds and blooms where mating and, subsequently, ovipositing occurs. Larvae (or fruitworm) emerge from the eggs on the flower or immature fruit and begin feeding on the receptacle. The larvae are between 0.1” and 0.25” in length depending on the time of season.

Published in print on December 20, 2019. Editors in charge: Martin Fikáček & Klaus-Dieter Klass. Abstract. The smallest beetles and the smallest non-parasitic insects belong to the staphylinoid family Ptiliidae. Their adult body length can be as small as 0.325 mm and is generally smaller than 1 mm. Here we address the phylogenetic relationships within the family using formal analyses of adult morphological characters and molecular data, and also a combination of both for the frst time. Strongly supported clades are Ptiliidae + Hydraenidae, Ptiliidae, Ptiliidae excl. Nossidium, Motschulskium and Sindosium, Nanosellini, and a clade comprising Acrotrichis, Smicrus, Nephanes and Baeocrara. A group comprising Actidium, Oligella and Micridium + Ptilium is also likely monophy- letic.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae.

  • Relative and Seasonal Abundance of Beneficial Arthropods in Centipedegrass As Influenced by Management Practices
    HORTICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY Relative and Seasonal Abundance of Beneficial Arthropods in Centipedegrass as Influenced by Management Practices S. KRISTINE BRAMAN AND ANDREW F. PENDLEY Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, College of Agriculture Experiment Stations, Georgia Station, Griffin, GA 30223 J. Econ. Entomol. 86(2): 494-504 (1993) ABSTRACT Pitfall traps were used to monitor the seasonal activity of arthropod preda­ tors, parasitoids, and decomposers in replicated plots of centipedegrass turf for 3 yr (1989-1991) at two locations. During 1990 and 1991, the influence of single or combined herbicide, insecticide, and fertilizer applications on these beneficials was assessed. In total, 21 species of carabids in 13 genera and 17 species of staphylinids in 14 genera were represented in pitfall-trap collections. Nonsminthurid collembolans, ants, spiders, and parasitic Hymenoptera were adversely affected in the short term by insecticide applica­ tions targeting the twolined spittlebug, Prosapia bicincta (Say). Other taxa, notably orib­ atid Acari, increased over time in response to pesticide or fertilizer applications. Although various taxa were reduced by pesticide application during three of four sample intervals, a lack ofoverall differences in season totals suggests that the disruptive influence ofcertain chemical management practices may be less severe than expected in the landscape.

  • Forensic Importance of Edaphic Fauna After the Removal of a Corpse
    J Forensic Sci, 2010 doi: 10.1111/j.1556-4029.2010.01506.x CASE REPORT Available online at: interscience.wiley.com PATHOLOGY⁄BIOLOGY Marta I. SaloÇa,1 Ph.D.; M. Lourdes Moraza,2 Ph.D.; Miguel Carles-Tolr,3 Ph.D.; Victor Iraola,4 Ph.D.; Pablo Bahillo,5 Ph.D.; Toms Ylamos,6 Ph.D.; Raimundo Outerelo,7 Ph.D.; and Rafael Alcaraz,8 M.D. Searching the Soil: Forensic Importance of Edaphic Fauna After the Removal of a Corpse ABSTRACT: Arthropods at different stages of development collected from human remains in an advanced stage of decomposition (following autopsy) and from the soil at the scene are reported. The corpse was found in a mixed deciduous forest of Biscay (northern Spain). Soil fauna was extracted by sieving the soil where the corpse lay and placing the remains in Berlese–Tullgren funnels. Necrophagous fauna on the human remains was dominated by the fly Piophilidae: Stearibia nigriceps (Meigen, 1826), mites Ascidae: Proctolaelaps epuraeae (Hirschmann, 1963), Laelapidae: Hypoaspis (Gaeolaelaps) aculeifer (Canestrini, 1884), and the beetle Cleridae: Necrobia rufipes (de Geer, 1775). We confirm the importance of edaphic fauna, especially if the deceased is discovered in natural environs. Related fauna may remain for days after corpse removal and reveal infor- mation related to the circumstances of death. The species Nitidulidae: Omosita depressa (Linnaeus, 1758), Acaridae: Sancassania berlesei (Michael, 1903), Ascidae: Zerconopsis remiger (Kramer, 1876) and P. epuraeae, Urodinychidae: Uroobovella pulchella (Berlese, 1904), and Macrochelidae:

  • Remarks on Some European Aleocharinae, with Description of a New Rhopaletes Species from Croatia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © Décembre Vol. LIII pp. 191–215 «Grigore Antipa» 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-010-0015-6 REMARKS ON SOME EUROPEAN ALEOCHARINAE, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW RHOPALETES SPECIES FROM CROATIA (COLEOPTERA: STAPHYLINIDAE) LÁSZLÓ ÁDÁM Abstract. Based on an examination of type and non-type material, ten species-group names are synonymised: Atheta mediterranea G. Benick, 1941, Aloconota carpathica Jeannel et Jarrige, 1949 and Atheta carpatensis Tichomirova, 1973 with Aloconota mihoki (Bernhauer, 1913); Amischa jugorum Scheerpeltz, 1956 with Amischa analis (Gravenhorst, 1802); Amischa strupii Scheerpeltz, 1967 with Amischa bifoveolata (Mannerheim, 1830); Atheta tricholomatobia V. B. Semenov, 2002 with Atheta boehmei Linke, 1934; Atheta palatina G. Benick, 1974 and Atheta palatina G. Benick, 1975 with Atheta dilaticornis (Kraatz, 1856); Atheta degenerata G. Benick, 1974 and Atheta degenerata G. Benick, 1975 with Atheta testaceipes (Heer, 1839). A new name, Atheta velebitica nom. nov. is proposed for Atheta serotina Ádám, 2008, a junior primary homonym of Atheta serotina Blackwelder, 1944. A revised key for the Central European species of the Aloconota sulcifrons group is provided. Comments on the separation of the males of Amischa bifoveolata and A. analis are given. A key for the identification of Amischa species occurring in Hungary and its close surroundings is presented. Remarks are presented about the relationships of Alevonota Thomson, 1858 and Enalodroma Thomson, 1859. The taxonomic status of Oxypodera Bernhauer, 1915 and Mycetota Ádám, 1987 is discussed. The specific status of Pella hampei (Kraatz, 1862) is debated. Remarks are presented about the relationships of Alevonota Thomson, 1858, as well as Mycetota Ádám, 1987, Oxypodera Bernhauer, 1915 and Rhopaletes Cameron, 1939.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.
